Thanks Doc! As other have said, we appreciate the fair, educated review.
In terms of the brakes, my experience has been that they're not strong with the organic pads. With the sintered pads, they were much, much better. But with the big brake rotor kit, it makes for a very strong braking package... though I've not yet been able to lock mine up. Maybe I'm not trying hard enough. But I can certainly feel the bike pitch forward and compress the forks and lighten the rear wheel when I brake hard.
I believe Spud has the 13T counter sprocket on his bike? That should make the bike feel more lively. And unless I'm mistaken, Spud has the Progressive rear shock and spring on his bike.
I also agree the street handling on the RX3 is very good and very assuring. I had read Motorcycle.com's review of the RC3 and they felt that it was twitchy. I have no such complaints about my RX3... it's stable and just a hoot in the twisty stuff.
